Abstract
A system and method for establishing a communication session between at least two parties that are located in a common context (e.g., location) without sufficient knowledge to establish a communication session in a conventional manner. In one embodiment, a request to establish a communication session between two devices is received at a remote server. The request includes user information and location information associated with the first device and the request includes data corresponding to a physical feature of the user of the second device. The request is processed to obtain network information related to the second device, by searching a plurality of user profilers stored on the server based on the received location information and the data corresponding to the physical feature of the associated user of the second portable communication. If a suitable user profile is found, a communication session is established between the devices.
